But you're right, like that expensive "Chilean Sea Bass" on the menu? It's not a bass and it doesn't come from Chile. "Chilean Sea Bass" is a AMERICAN TRADE NAME (like Kleenex) for Dissostichus eleginoides, commonly known as Patagonian Toothfish.

How's that one? So next time ask for it by it's correct name.

The Patagonian Toothfish (Chilean Sea Bass) is one of the ugliest fish you can imagine. If people saw one, they would probably never order it.
